As a result he was furnisied with plenty of funds, and cverylhing was merry as a marriage bell until a letter came goying that the old gentleman was cnroute to see his ncplew, and the letter implores his fiicnd to loan him his wife, in order to keep up the deception.' With reluctance, Loring gave up his charming little wife, ond later had to let Arthur claim his baby as well. Col.

Petersburg, Fla., April 30.—An Important decision of -the Supreme Court, overlooked by the press of the State has been received by attorneys here, the caso having been appealed fiom Tampa. The court, in holding ttat a husband’s control over the wife's property lasts cnly £o long as is agreeable to her, upset a statute which has been on the books in Florida for more than forty years. The statute giving a husband con- trol and management of his wife'’s property has been in effcct many years, and has been accepted as it read. The Supreme Court, in the cafe of the Florida Citrus Exchange, against Grishem, from Hillsborcush ccunty, holds that the hushaad’s control terminates when the wiié re- quires it. Grisbam joined the citrus exchange for a period of flve yea:s. His wife had a grove which was controlled by the husband, and he listed this grove with the exchange. After the first year Mrs. Grisham decided to withdraw her grove {rom the exchange, and her husband was proceeded against for breach of con- tract. The court holds that he is not liable as his wife had a rightto with- draw her consent to the husband's management, T" - urt says that the constitution ; .:s a woman not merely the title but also the prop- erty, and the Legislature has no lrlpht to take this right away from her by any act or.law. The decision will be received with intevest by lawyers all over the State, as it af- fcets contractual relations in a large number of instances, GAAMIR SCHOOL PLAY THE ENEN Interesting Entertainment Will No Doubt Be Witnessed by Large Audience. ap———— This evening at the Auditorium the grammar school department of the Lakeland school will give a play, “The Hair of Mount Vernon,” the cast of characters of which fol- lows: George Holbrook, Blllie (His Valet)--Henley Combs Lady Washington (the Mother of George)—Redella Gain, Lord Fairfax (a Rich Lord, who 1s an Old Friend of Lady Washing- ton)—Earl Powers.
